[QUOTE="TJV, post: 614000, member: 4300"] Where did the “extra” possessions go in the 2011 season? The Packers were +24 in TO ratio (only the 49ers were better at +28 and the Pats were 3rd at +17, then Lions +11). So they had a significant net gain of possessions vs. the league yet finished 30th in offensive drives. They were 12th in time of possessions at 30:29. The one caveat regarding the 38 TOs is those returned for TDs don’t count as possessions but there weren’t enough of those – I believe Woodson and Williams each had one and even a couple more wouldn’t explain about 20 extra possessions leading to their ranking in offensive drives. Back to the topic, while looking around for stats on the 2011 Packers, I found an article on bleacherreport.com which asked “Where Does Peyton Manning's 2013 Season Rank Among Best Ever?” The author uses adjusted stats to compare 13 seasons from seven QBs, including Rodgers’ 2011 season. Here’s how he adjusted the stats: “Take each raw stat and divide it by the total number of drives that quarterback had during the season. Then multiply this number by the league average of offensive drives during the 2013 season, which is 186.” Rodgers had 148 drives in 2011 according to the author (remember Flynn started the last game against the Lions and the author agrees the Packers finished 30th in total drives that season). The author basically answers the question asked in the title no, and lists three remarkable QB seasons, including the 2004 season by Manning he thinks was better than his 2013 season. Most important for Packers fans, the author says he’s inclined to believe the greatest season is Rodgers’ 2011 season (the article was written in January 2014) and here’s the adjusted stats: 6,158 yards, 60 TDs and 8 turnovers.
